I am on my desktop (nice large screen) been diddling around and finally got a couple things figured out.

I got them into a "custom" template (save as in editor gave it a name)

great. its working so far (few more things I want to do but I like what I have so far)

now I leave for my trip monday morning. can't bring the nice 55" panel with me so its to the laptop again.

how in the world do I get this template ONTO my laptop? I checked in the thumbnail folder I don't see my custom template anywhere and I see no export or save as file etc.. option anywhere in the software (I assume it must be there and I just can't find it)

SO. how do I copy my custom template to another computer and install it?

Templates in Extreme Thumbnail Generator are actually folders. So a simple copy will do just fine. All templates are stored inside the "Templates" sub-folder of the ETG "Program files" folder. You can see the location fo the "Program files" folder in the ETG settings, the "Advanced" tab:
